Adelard’s ASCE (Assurance and Safety Case Environment) is a powerful, flexible and intuitive system
for development and maintenance of assurance cases and delivery of assurance case reports.
ASCE supports
• development of Claims-Argument-Evidence, and
Goal Structuring Notation (GSN) arguments
• fine-grained linking of evidence to the argument
with hypertext
• flexible and sophisticated reporting for efficiently
creating deliverable quality custom reports
• navigation and validation of complex dependent
information (e.g., in hazard logs or fault schedules)

Emmet: Dr Cleland is Product Manager for the ASCE system, and
Mr Emmet is its Chief Architect. Both have extensive experience
in use of ASCE for safety case construction and have delivered

Each course is limited to 12 delegates to ensure a high tutor/
delegate ratio.
